$9.99 Goodwill Cane Chair Makeover

There seems to be no consensus on how to best paint caning - spray or brush.  I vote for spray.  Several very light coats and I didn't have any issues with the caning getting clogged with spray.  I did need to completely replace the seat as it was in such poor condition. Traced the old seat onto plywood and broke out the jigsaw.  Watch out.  She's wielding a power tool.

Move Over Orange

I have a new love, and her name is Gypsy Teal.

I also have a new best friend in furntiture painting:

It's a paint conditioner called Floetrol and it helped my semi-gloss look sm-o-o-o-o-o-th. I added about 3 capfuls to my quart of paint.
